An Illustrated History of British Theatre and Performance
chronicles the history and development of theatre from the Roman
era to the present day. As the most public of arts, theatre
constantly interacts with changing social, political and
intellectual movements and ideas, and Robert Leach's masterful work
restores to the foreground of this evolution the contributions of
women, gay people and ethnic minorities, as well as the theatres of
the English regions, and of Wales and Scotland. Highly illustrated
chapters trace the development of theatre through major plays from
each period; evaluations of playwrights; contemporary dramatic
theory; acting and acting companies; dance and music; the theatre
buildings themselves; and the audience, while also highlighting
enduring features of British theatre, from comic gags to the use of
props. This first volume spans from the earliest forms of
performance to the popular theatres of high society and the
Enlightenment, tracing a movement from the outdoor and fringe to
the heart of the social world. The Illustrated History acts as an
accessible, flexible basis for students of the theatre, and for
pure fans of British theatre history there could be no better
starting point.
